Abstract

A marine propeller using the circulation control principle of blowing tantially over a Coanda surface at the trailing edge of each blade to develop high blade lift (thrust). Each blade has internal chambers and two blowing slots so that blowing is controllable for forward and for reverse thrust without reversing rotational direction of the propeller. This propeller is capable of generating much greater thrust and ship speed at lower RPM and noise levels than conventional propellers.
